SJS CARD TRADING EXPO

When: May 20th 3:00-4:30
Where: Cafeteria or Library (depends on attendance)
What is it: A space for kids to expand there reach of trading cards beyond family and close friends. All SJS students are welcome to participate. Each child will be able to set up their booth to display cards they are willing to trade. I suggest bringing a tablecloth and you are welcome to make a sign to display on the front of your booth. Each booth will be assigned a number. 
How it works: We will provide a time to roam from booth to booth viewing the cards on the trading floor. I will set a time for the trading floor to be open. We will repeat this for several rounds. Each round will involve a certain number of tables in that trading group and the groups will rotate each session. 
What is traded: We will break the room into SPORTS card booths and Pokémon booths. To keep things smooth we ask that you pick either sports or Pokémon as it will be to challenging to put trading groups together with mixed booths.
We will have a commissioner approve each trade to ensure fairness and to facilitate good sportsmanship.
We ask that your child be accompanied by a parent or at least ‘assigned’ to another parent in attendance. This will be chaos if we have 30 kids running around without being supervised. Also, a parent needs to stand by the booth as the students roam the booths. 
Trading cards creates confidence in negotiating, assessing value and making sound decisions. We are excited for the kids to have this fun opportunity. Please contact Christie Pavia if you are interested in reserving a booth or would like additional information. Provide students name, grade, type of card (sports or Pokémon) to trade. 
Students are to trade ONLY. No buying cards or involving money in trades!

Annual Flea Market

Our annual Flea Market will be held on Friday and Saturday, June 3 and 4 in Noll Hall. Hours are from 8 am to 3 pm. The Flea Market is a great St. Joe’s fundraising tradition. But, it is also much more than that. It is a major recycling project, where one parishioner’s “trash” becomes another person’s treasure. Our flea market attracts people from all over the area looking to purchase household items, children’s clothing, furniture, toys and more at very reasonable prices. And, our leftover items are shared with several charities throughout the area.
We need lots of help to make the Flea Market a success. We need:
Donated items to sell. Some examples are: furniture; tools; decorative items; household items; working appliances; books; baskets; vases; flat screen TV’s only; and clean, gently used children’s clothing up to size 14. Sorry, we cannot accept mattresses or adult clothing. So, when you are doing your Spring cleaning, please remember the Flea Market.

Drop off days and times:
Saturday, May 28 from 10 am until 2 pm
Monday (Memorial Day), May 30 from 10 am until 2 pm
Tuesday – Thursday, May 31 – June 2 from 10 am – 8 pm


Volunteers. We need volunteers to unload cars, to display and price items, and to work the days of the Flea Market. We are grateful for as much or as little time as you can help. We also need help with cleanup after the 11:00 am Mass on Sunday, June 5th.

Attention 7th and 8th Graders and all teens: This is a great opportunity to complete community service for high school.

To get the word out. Please post information about the Flea Market on your social media. If you would like flyers, let us know.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please contact Barb Fritz (859-468-0909, bfritz1@zoomtown.com) or Janie Terrell (859-653-9063, jht927@hotmail.com).
